Teaming: Mónica's Dream (How Millions of Microdonations Are Changing Thousands of Lives) is the remarkable story of Jil Van Eyle, a rising star in the European business world who turned his back on the corporate way to help others and find happiness. Teaming is about creating social change through micro donations, one dollar at a time. Teams are created by anyone who wants to raise funds for projects of solidarity and economic help; there are no bosses, no underlings, no hierarchies, no complicated employee manuals. The only thing a person needs to do is to want to help. Since 1998, when Mónica Van Eyle was born with hydrocephalus and given two days to live, the desire to help others was born in her father, Jil, who wanted her to have a chance. It took a near tragedy to find a way to his heart.

Отрывок из книги
I want to dedicate this book to the three most important women in my life, my daughters Mónica and África, and my wife, Cristina.
Thanks to Mónica the Teaming project has been born, and once again I’ve become the person I used to be.

The doctor didn’t want to make a mistake, Jil supposed, or to say the wrong thing.
